Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

We caught five fish today, none of them were particularly big.

First, I took out a big crucian carp from the bucket and decided to use it to make soup at noon.

While cleaning the fish, Zheng Xiaoman was thinking, it would be great if there was tofu at home. Crucian carp stewed with tofu is both delicious and nutritious.

After the autumn harvest, go to the village and see if there is anyone making tofu.

Her mind was racing and her hands were moving non-stop.

A crucian carp was cleaned quickly, and she scooped out corn flour to make pancakes.

To make crucian carp soup, you should first fry the crucian carp until both sides are golden brown.

I don’t have the conditions to do this at home now, so I can only boil the water first and then put the fish directly into it to cook.

Zheng Xiaoman finally understood what it meant to be a good cook without rice.

Fortunately, the fish was stewed with spiritual spring water, and the fish soup made was still much more delicious than ordinary fish soup.

After the fish soup started to boil, she took a sip to taste the saltiness. As soon as she drank the soup, she heard the sound of someone swallowing saliva behind her.

Zheng Xiaoman knew who it was without looking back, and then felt a little distressed.

Children nowadays are too greedy. They can only eat meat during the Chinese New Year and other festivals.

Zheng Xiaoman took out two small bowls from the cupboard and first served out two small bowls of fish soup.

She turned around and waved to the two little ones at the door, "Lixia, Chunya, come here and help your sister taste this fish soup to see if it tastes good."

Lixia's eyes lit up and she ran in holding her sister's hand.

Zheng Xiaoman handed a bowl of fish soup to Lixia, and she cooled the other bowl and fed it to Chunya with a spoon.

"It's delicious, so delicious, sister. I've never tasted such delicious fish soup in my life."

Lixia drank the fish soup in small sips. The soup was so delicious that he was reluctant to drink it up so quickly.

Chun Ya also drank happily, grinning at her sister, "Sister, it tastes good, Chun Ya likes it very much."

"Okay, drink more if it tastes good. My sister made a lot today."

Zheng Xiaoman used a handkerchief to wipe the corners of Chun Ya's mouth. After Lixia finished drinking the fish soup, she ran over and hugged her neck and acted coquettishly.

"Sister, you are the best sister."

Chun Ya also imitated her brother and hugged her sister's neck, "You are mine, I am Chun Ya's."

Zheng Xiaoman had two kids hanging around his neck and almost fell to the ground.

She reached out and patted Lixia's buttocks, "Okay, let me go, I still have to cook."

"Hehe" Lixia let go of her hand with a smile, "Sister, let me help you."

Zheng Xiaoman stood up, poured the fish soup from the pot into a basin, then took out six wild duck eggs that he had picked up earlier from the cupboard and beat them into a bowl.

Lixia handed her a large bowl of peeled shrimps. There were some leeks at home, so she made a steamed egg with leeks and shrimps.

When the food was ready, she served it in a bowl and put it aside, and put the rest on plates and put them in a basket.

"Dad, Mom and the others are eating lunch in the fields. I'll go take them food first. Lixia, come with me. Chunya, you watch her and don't let her run away."

Before going out, Zheng Xiaoman carried Chun Ya into the house and put her on the kang for her father to look after.

"Dad knows. Go ahead. Walk slowly on the way and take a rest if you get tired."

Zheng Dashan felt sorry for his daughter and gave her some instructions.

Zheng Xiaoman smiled at her father and said, "I know, Dad. Let's go."

She was carrying a small bucket of soup and a basket on her back containing bowls, chopsticks and water.

Lixia walked beside him carrying a basket filled with cakes and vegetables.

It took the brother and sister more than twenty minutes to walk from home to the fields.

The sun was at its brightest at noon. Zheng Xiaoman felt that the bucket in his hand was getting heavier and heavier, and the sweat on his head was getting more and more.

It was so hot just walking such a short distance. You can imagine how hard it must be for her grandparents working in the fields.

Being a farmer is really hard work, and the harvest from the fields is not as much as in the future.

After the autumn harvest, these grains must be used to pay grain tax, and the rest is kept by the family.

After a year of hard work, this little bit of food is only enough to keep the family from starving to death.

She still had to find another way out for her family. She couldn't expect to make money in her lifetime by farming.

Her brother will be getting married in two or three years, and given the shabby house they have now, no girl would be willing to marry into this family.

What's more, Lixia has reached the age for enlightenment, and she also wants her brother to go to school with her.

Regardless of whether you can pass the exam or not, it never hurts to at least learn more knowledge.

But these things have to be done slowly. The most urgent thing now is to earn money to repair the house.

Otherwise, with the house leaking everywhere, she was afraid she would freeze to death at home this winter.

By the time the siblings finally reached the field, Zheng Xiaoman's arms were already sore.

When Zhou Chunfeng saw her daughter coming over in the field, she hurriedly called out to her parents, then quickly walked towards her daughter.

Seeing her daughter's face flushed with tiredness, she took the basket from her back with heartache.

"Come sit under the tree and cool off for a while, I'll take care of the rest."

"Mom, I'm fine. I'm not tired at all. You and grandpa and grandma are the most tired. I don't work in the fields, so I can't be tired."

Zheng Xiaoman tilted her little face up and smiled at her mother.

Zhou Chunfeng touched her little face with heartache and relief, "Mom's Xiaoman has grown up."

Zheng Xiaoman saw his grandparents coming out, waved at them and shouted, "Grandpa and grandma, come over and eat, we made delicious food today."

Her voice was clear and pleasant, and the people in the surrounding fields all looked over here after hearing it.

Old Man Zheng laughed out loud, "Okay, I'll come over right away to see what delicious food my good granddaughter has made."

Grandma Zheng also had a smile on her face, and her tired body felt much better now.

Zheng Qingming also heard his sister's voice and called his two cousins ​​to come out of the fields together.

"Little sister." Zheng Qingming waved to his sister.

"Brother, come and eat."

"Hey, I'll be right over."

Zheng Xiaoman took out a large piece of linen he brought from home and spread it on the ground, then took out the bowls and chopsticks from the backpack and placed them on top.

Lixia also took out the dry food and vegetables from the basket and placed them in the middle, then helped her sister pour soup into the bowl.

When Zhou Chunfeng saw the fish soup and steamed egg with shrimps, she knew that her daughter had been busy all morning.

"Didn't mother tell you to just do whatever you want? Are you going to the river to catch fish again?"

“Mom, you guys work so hard, how can you just deal with it casually?

If you do such heavy farm work and don't eat enough, your body will be exhausted. Don't worry, mom, I'm not tired. No matter how tired I am, how can I be as tired as you?"

Old Man Zheng and his wife also came over, and when they saw the food they understood what was going on.

Seeing that their granddaughter was so sensible, the two old people felt distressed.

When my son’s legs were fine, there was no need for my granddaughter to do these things.

Zheng Xiaoman really didn't think it was a big deal. The work she had done before was much more tiring than this.

When in the kitchen, the chef orders people around without any mercy.

Washing, cutting and preparing vegetables are all her jobs. She is busy from morning to night.

If one does not do it well, the master will scold him.

Even when being scolded, you still have to do your job.
